The 700Cal heavy construction bullet will do the job
but it has got to go faster than 1950 fps.Needs about
500 fps more.A 1200 gr at 300 fps more work great also.
And you can do one at 3% of the price
of a H&H. Ed

I wonder what the recoil would be on that one? Somewhere between a sledge hammer and mike tyson i think. :grin

And they weigh less!

What DO these things weigh?

Some .700 doubles have gone as much as 21 pounds. A .500 double should go 11 pounds. And 13 for a .577.

My 700H 3.25" is a pussycat, it shoots real
easy. With the PH action and thumbhole weighted stock
it's about same 3.5" 12ga magnum turkey load
in a 7 lb 12ga.Ed
